Viho Shadow 75K: What the Puff Count Doesn’t Tell You

The Viho Shadow Kit 75K is a disposable-class device rated for up to 75,000 puffs in its Normal mode and up to 35,000 in Boost. It holds 20mL of e-liquid at 5% (50mg) nicotine, runs on a dual-battery design, and gives the user two power settings and three airflow positions. It ships in 16 flavors and takes a dedicated replacement pod.

That is the spec sheet. What matters to a buyer is where this device sits on the shelf, who reaches for it, and how the replacement pod changes the reorder pattern. That is what this piece covers.

The 75,000 number is a mode, not a promise

Read the two ratings together. Normal mode is rated at 75,000 puffs. Boost mode drops that to 35,000. Those are not two versions of the same device — they are the same device under two different draws, and the gap between them is more than half the total.

That matters at the counter. A customer who buys on the 75,000 figure and then runs Boost because they want more vapor will get through the device in roughly half the time they expected. If your staff does not explain the trade-off, you get the return conversation instead. Train the counter to say it plainly: Boost is a stronger hit and a shorter life.

Treat both numbers as upper bounds under ideal draw conditions, not as a schedule. Puff ratings across this category are measured differently by different brands, and none of them account for how hard a given customer pulls.

Where it fits in a disposable planogram

Our disposable shelf runs from under 10,000 puffs up to 150,000 and beyond, and the deepest part of that range is the 50,000–80,000 band. The Shadow 75K lands near the top of that band, which means it is competing with the most crowded set of SKUs you carry, not with the entry tier.

So do not stock it as a curiosity. Stock it as a step-up for the customer who already buys in the 50,000 range and wants more capacity or more control. The dual battery and the adjustable airflow are the reasons that customer upgrades; the puff count is just the headline.

Two practical notes on space:

• A 20mL device is a bigger box than a 10mL one. Check your fixture depth before you commit to a full facing.
• Sixteen flavors is a wide spread. You do not need all sixteen to test the device. Pick the profiles your store already sells and let the sell-through decide the rest.

If you are rebuilding the category from scratch, our guide to building a disposable order walks through the tier logic before you get to individual SKUs.

The 16 flavors, grouped by who buys them

The lineup runs across fruit, candy, menthol and tobacco, plus a neutral Clear profile. Grouping them by buyer is more useful than listing them alphabetically.

Tobacco and menthol

These are the adult switcher flavors. They sell slower than fruit but they sell steadily, and they are the ones a customer comes back for by name. Keep them in stock even at low velocity — losing a tobacco customer to an out-of-stock is a permanent loss more often than a temporary one.

Clear

A neutral profile with no strong flavor note. It appeals to customers who want the nicotine without a candy finish, and it is a sensible single-SKU test if you are unsure about the line.

Fruit and candy

This is where the volume is, and also where the duplication is. Sixteen flavors in one line means several will overlap with what you already carry from other brands. Before you add depth here, look at what is already moving on that shelf. Our wholesale disposable vapes range shows the breadth you are slotting into.

The replacement pod changes your reorder math

This is the part a spec sheet buries. The Shadow 75K is built around a replacement pod, which makes it a hybrid: disposable convenience with a consumable component.

That is good for margin and bad for simplicity. Good, because a customer who likes the device has a reason to come back for pods rather than shop the whole shelf again. Bad, because you now carry two SKUs per sale and you have to keep them in balance. Pods that sit while devices sell are dead cash; devices that sell while pods run out are angry customers.

Two rules that keep it clean:

1. Order pods against device velocity, not against device order size. If you bring in a case of kits, do not automatically match it with a case of pods.
2. Watch the first reorder cycle before you widen flavors. The pod attach rate on your first two or three best-selling flavors tells you whether the line has legs in your store.

Pods and coils across the category are typically sold in 5-piece packs, so factor pack math into your unit cost before you set retail. Our coils, pods and accessories section covers how those packs are structured.

Ordering notes before you commit

A few things to settle before the Shadow 75K goes on a purchase order.

Verify the nicotine level against your local rules. This is a 5% (50mg) device. Strength limits and flavor restrictions vary by state and locality, and they change. Confirm what applies to you before the freight is booked, not after.

Get pricing in writing. Signed-in wholesale accounts can review current product pricing, and business approval is required before ordering. Any custom quantity price should be confirmed on a written quote for the exact product and quantity — not inferred from a previous order.

Confirm terms on the quote. Opening minimums, case quantities, freight and payment terms come from your current written account quote. We do not publish thresholds here because they are account-specific.

Check your licensing is current. We sell only to licensed US retailers. If you are new to us, start with licensing requirements and then apply for a wholesale account.

Plan the shipping. Vape products move under PACT Act rules. Read the compliance and shipping requirements so your receiving process is ready when the pallet arrives.

The short version

The Shadow 75K is a credible entry in the band where most of your disposable dollars already sit. Its differentiators are the dual battery, the two power modes and the adjustable airflow — not the puff figure, which halves the moment a customer switches to Boost.

Order it as a step-up SKU for existing high-capacity buyers. Test a narrow flavor set first. Keep pods tied to device velocity. And explain the Normal-versus-Boost trade-off at the counter, because that one sentence prevents most of the complaints this device can generate.
